Unable to pay off my debts, I had no choice but to become a Kamen Rider.

After Kirishima Chinatsu and Duanmu Jun left, Asano Yu was called by the doctor to sign some supplementary documents. When he returned, neither of them was there.

The only sounds in the ward were the regular ticking of the medical equipment, the unconscious Hayami Mitsuki, and the deep-set gaze of Asano Yu.

Asano Yu reread the test reports, which were filled with parameters and characteristics that she could barely understand, and the doctor said her vital signs were fine—

The root of the problem was attributed to psychological issues.

But she didn't seem to have any problems before using the VR device.

Ultimately, it was Asano Yu's carelessness; no matter how you look at it, she shouldn't have recommended that Kirishima Chinatsu bring VR equipment to visit Hayami Mitsuki.

Now it seems that I did indirectly harm her.

Asano Yu's gaze fell on Hayami Mitsuki's beautiful features and serene face. This generous patron, who had been so generous with her money, lay peacefully, breathing steadily, as if she were in a sweet dream.

Ok?

Dreamland?

Asano Yu immediately thought of the man who had the nightmare.

In the VR experience center, he stormed over to cause trouble for the staff, which means he had woken up from a nightmare that was very likely caused by the VR glasses.

The only sounds in the ward were the regular ticking of the medical equipment, the unconscious Hayami Mitsuki, and the deep-set gaze of Asano Yu.

His gaze fell once again on the two VR devices.

The cold, metallic exterior gleamed with an ominous quality under the stark white light of the ward.

He recalled Kirishima Chinatsu's bizarre memory gaps and his own dream of a strange, bloodthirsty world that strikingly overlapped with reality—

It's probably related to this device.

Even though it lies here innocently, Asano Yu doesn't think it can escape responsibility at all.

Most importantly, it was something recommended by Allen, who was a dragon-type Orphnoch—

I should have eliminated Allen back then.

Asano Yu felt a little regretful. He took a deep breath, walked to the table, and picked up one of the VR glasses.

The device was lighter than he had imagined, unlike the devices used in VR experience centers. He even questioned whether it contained the necessary electronic components.

He glanced at the silent Hayami Mitsuki on the bed, and without hesitation, put the glove on her and pressed the start button.

When there was no game menu or login screen as expected, Asano Yu thought he had pressed the wrong button and pressed it again, but nothing changed.

Just as he was wondering what was going on, his vision was suddenly swallowed up by a rapidly spinning vortex filled with distorted colors and breaking sounds—

A strong sense of dizziness and detachment washed over me, as if my soul had been forcibly ripped from my body and thrown into a bizarre and fantastical passage.

Immediately afterwards, he heard a sharp buzzing and indistinct, unintelligible whispers in his ears.

I don't know how much time passed, maybe a moment, maybe a long time, but all the chaos suddenly stopped.

Asano Yu stood in one place.

He found himself standing on solid ground, surrounded by bright, soft light. Opening his eyes, he realized he was standing right in the middle of the Shibuya crossroads.

The surrounding area was filled with a rushing flow of people, densely packed, like ants before a storm—

Of course, what's slightly different from my daily life is the hordes of strange people.

They swaggered through the crowd, bumping into and rubbing against humans and other strange people as they hurried along.

It seems the dream has connected, but the question is, why?

Before the brain could even process the information, the eyes first caught sight of two individuals colliding in front of them: a strange man and a human.

The frail human was thrown into the air by the impact and rolled several times on the ground.

But the strong Orphino did not take any remedial action, not even bending down to help him up—

The people around remained indifferent, and before the human could even struggle to his feet, the Orphino who had bumped into him grabbed his head and lifted him up!

Asano Yu frowned, wondering if something was amiss. He glanced around and noticed that most of the humans were avoiding the strange man.

Why?

Weren't you getting along well in my dream last night?

In search of the answer, he began to look around and unexpectedly spotted a familiar face.

He saw the Gurongi policeman he had dreamed about the night before in the crowd. For some reason, Asano Yu felt a little relieved when he saw him.

After all, according to last night's dream, he must have been there to solve the problem, right?

Unexpectedly, when the Gurongi police arrived in front of the troublemaking Orphino and the human, they struck the human with a baton and demanded that he apologize to Orphino.

Asano Yu was greatly disappointed, completely unprepared for this outcome. He took a few steps forward, intending to stop them, but then heard the Gurongi say this:

"You lowly humans who can't create wealth, watch out next time! Stick to the roads meant for humans! Don't embarrass yourselves!"

After speaking, the Gurongi policeman blew his whistle to disperse the crowd, separating the Orphino from the humans. Asano Yu was stunned.

It seems that in this world, eccentrics have a higher social status?

Suddenly, the sound of a screen hanging on a department store came from the side. Asano Yu turned his head and saw that Orphnoch named Allen was appearing on the big screen.

First of all, I would like to thank all my fellow non-human races for their support. I am simply grateful for your kindness, and I especially thank Secretary Hayami for accepting us non-human races.

Secretary Hayami?

Early arrival at Miyue?

Ok?

As Asano Yu was puzzled, Allen continued:

Since the implementation of the friendly and mutually supportive alliance, we, the alien race, have provided substantial assistance to all aspects of social production. We are present on construction sites, in mines, in convenience stores, and even in landfills. We have provided considerable help to human society.

Currently, 82% of workers in society are of mixed race. We possess greater work abilities, stronger physical fitness, and even our mental capacity surpasses that of human intelligence.

Why does this sound so off?

Asano Yu looked around and found that many people around him had stopped to observe. The humans were walking with their heads down and covered, while the strange people were cheering and jumping for joy.

However, we, as a different race, are treated the same as humans, which I cannot accept. Therefore, I propose the New Human Labor Act for Different Races, so that we, as a different race, may become the masters of this planet!

After he finished speaking, the strange people around him erupted in a thunderous cheer, and Asano Yu had to cover his ears to avoid his eardrums bursting.

Amidst the cheers, the large screen suddenly shifted, revealing an unexpected person—

I hope you live to be a month old.

Wearing a suit and uniform, Hayami Mitsuki appeared on stage. Even with foundation covering her face, she looked quite haggard.

She stepped to the front of the stage and spoke slowly in a tone that Asano Yu knew all too well:

"I agree with Mr. Allen's proposal."
